Okay. Fine. Let's call it a semi-self-correcting problem.

If a moron walks onto a busy street because he or she is on her cell phone and doesn't realize he or she is walking onto a busy street and another moron is in his or her car and does not see the moron crossing the street, the moron crossing the street will no longer use his or her cell phone while walking because he or she will be dead and the moron in the car will no longer drive while on his or her cell phone because he or she will be in prison.

Whew.

The lengths some of you people make me go to.

I see what you mean. We ended drunk driving the same way. I’m glad that problem no longer exists.

Of course, its easy to prove if the driver was drunk or stoned. Not so easy to prove that they were DUI of a cell phone unless laws are passed forbidding their use while driving. But, the libertarians will quickly jump on that as an infringement of some right.

I was rear-ended by a person texting. Car was “almost” totalled, so they “fixed” and it was never right again. Sold it at a loss because the Carfax showed a $10,000 repair. My neck was injured, but symptoms didn’t show until 4 years later. I saw the person coming at me but was boxed in by cars and couldn’t do anything but brace for impact. I saw her clear as day in my mirror with that cell phone perched high on the steering wheel in front of her. Cop elected to not charge her since no one was injured (at the time).

So, what was the self-correcting part of that case?
